The last time I visited I was only in the smaller tasting room. The new hall is grand and has open hill views. You can see all the vines, lakes and property on this place! The indoor space was cozy with Christmas trees , couches and tables! Everyone was super nice . The wine was delicious and the menu for lunch looked incredible. I found this place to be very inviting. Loved the white Adirondack chairs. It had such a New England states feel.
Dogs are allowed outside too!

This place was amazing. Was here in December and the weather was spectacular. Like others have said the grounds are well taken care off. The wine and food were spot on. Will be back.

Fantastic wines, especially the Viognier! We bought a case during this visit and will definitely purchase more. We visited in late December; Aside from the excellent wines, the property itself is stunning. I can't even imagine the beauty during spring/summer. They had a mulled cider utilizing their Cru wine that was outstanding. Recipe posted in the photos. We had lunch along with the wine flight and the food was top notch as it is at all Trump properties. All in all a 10 star experience all the way.

This place is amazing on a nice summer day! You can get a flight of wine (or a glass or a bottle) and enjoy it in the lawn. There are picnic tables and Adirondack chairs, all spread out, to enjoy beautiful scenery. It's really relaxing! The food is a little pricey for the quality. I would recommend bringing your own and having a nice picnic in the lawn. Their wine was delicious! I highly recommend swinging by! The building where they serve the wine also has clothing and trinkets for sale. There is an outdoor tent with seating as well.
